Suggestions for The Reduction of Cholesterol Levels

• Decrease the use of meat, especially beef and pork, as well as viscera, sausages, etc.
• Learn to cook without egg yolks.
• Do not eat more than three whole eggs per week. There is no limit to egg whites (cholesterol is found only in the yolk).
• Preferably use low fat or fat free milk and dairy products, especially avoiding cream, butter and fatty cheeses
• Reduce the use of commercial sweets, pastries, and desserts containing animal fats.
• Increase the use of vegetable fiber (whole grains, fruits, especially apples, and vegetables), which absorb the biliary salts needed for the formation of cholesterol in the intestines.
• Use olive oil, alternating with seed oils (corn, wheat germ, sunflower, grape seeds,etc.)
• Avoid nervous tension and stress.
• Perform physical exercise daily (for at least one hour).
• Keep your weight down.
